The album will be available on vinyl for those attending live shows this summer. Upcoming tour dates can be found on the band's website at thestormwindows.com.

The Storm Windows, named after a John Prine song title, are described as veteran musicians who have weathered storms and continue to perform. Their music has been labeled "New Americana – a blend of folk, rock and even jazz laced sonics." The band plays both showcases and bar gigs, and this release marks a significant step as their debut on the PGRoots label, signaling a new chapter for the trio.
